IMPROVEMENT IN BASE-BURNING- COOK-STOVBS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To. all whom it may concern Be it known that I,W1I.L1s'S. BRONSON, ofthe city and county of Hartford, and State of Gonnecticut, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Base- Burning Cook-Stoveorltange; and to enable others skilled in the art to make and use thesame, I will proceed to describe it, referring to the drawings, in whichthe same lettersindicate'like parts in each of the figures.

The nature of this invention will be fully understood from thespecification and drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation.

Figure 2 is a sectional side view.

Figure 3 is a sectional front elevation.

Figure 4 is a top view.

These four views show its exterior shape, and mode of construction.

ais thebody of the store.

1) is the baseor ash-box. c is the top plate, directly over thefire-pot, provided with openings, 0.

(Z is an elongated fuel-magazine, located in the centre of the plate'0,- the lower end, d, of which is formed shelving, to direct the courseof the fuel to the centre of the fire-pot, the object of which is toalways effect the discharge of fuel directly in the centre of thefirepot, or as nearly so as possible, and thereby supply or replenishthe fuel at the time and in the most desired point to compensate forwaste by combustion.

The sides of the lower end, (1'', are formed concave, circle-shape, tosecure the rounding up of the fuel in the centre of the potc.

c isthc fire-pot, arranged in the centre of the body oft he stove, theupper port-ion, c, of which is of a flarijng form, back to the outerwall of the stove, thus forming an air-space, 1, between the fire-potand the body of the stove.

Holes, g, are provided through the body of the stove, and through theflaring portion 0 of the fire-pot, to allow air to enter the spacef,land discharge itself around the fire-sulihce.

h is the direct-draught opening, or damper, from the fire-space into thespace It, formed around the oven h".

h is a damper, designed to be used in the construction' of the stove,and is located in the space hf, be-

tween the fuel-magazine and the oven, by the use of which the heat andsmoke are caused to surround the oven in their passage to the exit-pipei.

It is a damper, or opening, to allow gas to escape from thefuel-magazine into the smoke-exit.

71 are -flnes, or smoke and gas-passages, located outside of the body ofthe stove, and directly under the plate 0. Openings, -h, enter it fromthe fire-chamber, thence through the flue-passage, so formed, into thespace h, through an opening, 71 shown by dotted line, the object ofwhich is to keep the heat directly under the boiler-holes e.

j a water-reservoir, located directly back of the fire-pot, and underthe oven, for heating water, and

other like purposes.

I.- is a hot-closet, located just backof the reservoir, and directlyunder the oven.

'lhese receptacles, reservoir and hot-closet, are made preferably in theform of drawers, so that they may be drawn out at will. But they may be,one or both of them, permanently attached to the stove.

The advantage of a stove, thus constructed, is believed to be of thegreatest importance to a housewife.

Having ihus'shown the nature and construction of this invention, insnch'a manner as I believe will enable others skilled in the art to makethe same therefrom, 1 will now proceed to state what I claim, and desireto secure by Letters Patent.

l olaini- 1. The magazine (I, elongated, and shelving at itslmttom,substantially as set forth.

2. The arrangement of a water-reservoir, j, beneath the oven, and backof the fire-pot, substantially as set forth.

3. A hot-closet, 7-, arranged back of the Water-reservoirj, and beneaththe oven, substantially as set forth.

- 4. The arrangement of the fire-pot e, fuel-magazine (I, even It",rcservoirj, and hot-closet k, substantially as set forth.-
